Thanks. I've got a very old one (Laser brand) that my father gave me a long time ago, but I never used it. Maybe something can be done with it. Right now though I am also considering buying a new compact digital camera (after Christmas, when prices go down). I've got a very old one and could take some pics yesterday. They are nothing special (although they could be improved with some post-work), but the camera is very old, so maybe with a new camera I can do something and even attach it to the scope with a camera adapter (as a compact digital camera is not so heavy). I have actually found a thread where somebody was successful in doing this with the Heritage 130p, so it is doable. Some of these new compact digital camera are really tiny and slim. It looks like most people take pics either with a compact digital camera or a webcam with my telescope, so maybe the temptation to use my good huge camera was not so good...
